Removes footprint limitation for all object placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed on hand tool for when objects are in use, or are normally non-movable objects. This is known to cause issues with game elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation, etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. While Sims will reappear by the mailbox when the lot is reloaded, getting the mailbox and/or garbage can back will require using custom content.

boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true/false with true being default

when false, all objects can be placed everywhere. This does not include objects on tables or walls.

boolProp constrainFloorElevation true/false with true being default

When false, terrain can be changed even when objects are on it.

NOTE: these cheats are not case-sensitive. boolProp can also be written as boolprop.

Pressing the CTRL + ALT keys while trying to place the object will activate the cheat. Placement rules on walls will be removed. The player will be able to place any wall object on a wall already occupied by another object.
